what is proper care of the mirage??

I have been using one for about a month and I like it much better than the gold seal gel mask because it is lighter and better able to keep a seal (tho it isn't perfect, and sometimes my left eye - always the left - is a bit sealed shut when I first wake up, but there is no irritation).

The fisher paykell humidifier I've had for over a year and I can tell you the "proper care" for it that I use: I clean it DAILY with anti-bacterial hand soap, rinse it and pat it dry and let it finish drying on a shelf in the bathroom. Works great!
